Jimmy Neesham

Neesham comes back to the national side. He will be eager to push strong here with his all-round ability still valuable but his consistency a concern.

Shadab Khan

Shadab Khan is another player making a comeback having last played in the T20 World Cup last year. He is now the vice-captain with his experience and leadership seen as an important factor.
